The following symptoms and complaints may indicate duodenal ulcer (duodenal ulcer):
- Epigastric pain (upper abdominal pain):
- May occur late after food intake, at night, or else in the fasting state (fasting episodes/fasting pain) or independently of food intake
- Often improvement of symptoms after food intake
- Nausea (nausea)/vomiting
- Weight loss
Note: Duodenal ulcers (duodenal ulcers) are also often asymptomatic, meaning they occur without symptoms. This is especially true if it is an NSAID-induced ulcer (ulcer caused by taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs/anti-inflammatory drugs). The analgesic (“painkilling”) effect usually caps the discomfort, and it is often not clinically apparent until bleeding occurs.
